Over dit e-boek

A supernatural visitor entrusts an enigmatic cubed artifact with maverick archeologist Professor Ian Dury. Five years later, legendary robotics pioneer Mitsuo Kobayashi appropriates the top-secret cube, projecting a young woman’s body and soul into sixteen sister replicants before the catastrophic consequences of playing God lay bare his hubris.
Rachel and Owen Haig raise their precocious daughter, Hannah, out of the public eye and away from The Powers That Be (PTB) until events spiral their extraordinary lives asunder.
With a vicelike grip on the PTB, a corrupted Andrew sabotages a quasi-utopian new world order, precipitating the return of an advanced alien hybrid prehuman civilization.
25-year-old Hannah Haig leads a solitary life in 2070 as a drone tech aboard Thundercorp No. 5 when terrorists destroy the moon-like orbiting warehouse. A month later, estranged from her family and stricken with survivor’s guilt, Hannah’s Blue Spark inheritance manifests, leading to a transformative sacrifice that seals humankind’s destiny at the end of a celestial path.
On a future Earth reshaped by eons of cataclysmic upheavals, something stirs within the cube long since buried under the sands of time.
Sometimes, history repeats.
Over de auteur
Author and artist John Hopkins’ curiosity for what lies beyond common knowledge shapes his character-driven storytelling. Following his muse, John created Lost Cactus, a comic strip set on an off-the-grid top-secret research base—think Area 51. The strip’s quick wit, fearless lampoonery, and supernatural mythology expanded from three panels into a shared universe of edgy short stories and epic full-length science fiction novels.
Sequels and graphic novels featuring the expansive world-building of Lost Cactus and The Powers That Be shared universe are in the works. Stay tuned and keep an eye on the sky.
